July 23, 2010 – Soil samples were taken from four 10 foot holes at the Upper Pistol Range (the former trap range) on Wednesday. Our structural engineer, John Spooner, will be receiving the report along with your President from Landmark Engineering. This is part of the process to install the poles for the Shot Barrier Curtain that will allow the Club to offer once again, after 5 years of non-use, shooting clay pigeons at our Trap Range. Members are still not allowed to use portable clay throwers and can only pattern their shotguns at the provided backstops.
July 22, 2010 – The Estes Park Gun and Archery Club will be hosting a series of pre-hunting season "sight-in days" at the Club's Outdoor range, located in Noel's Draw on Hwy 34 (Big Thompson canyon) approximately 5 miles east of the Town of Estes Park. The range will be open to the public for these events with Club Range Safety Officers present.
Range Safety Officers will be available to assist with bore sighting, scope/sight adjustments and will offer shooting or sighting-in tips as requested. Shooting benches, eye & ear protection, sandbags (rests) and spotting scopes will be available. All range safety rules will be strictly enforced.

Initial "zero" will be confirmed from a shooting bench at 25 yards. Shooters will then move to the 100 yard or 200 yard range for final sight adjustments.
A map of outdoor range location is available or you may contact one of the Club officers listed by telephone for more information.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to sight in that new rifle or check the "zero" of your existing firearms prior to the upcoming big game seasons. Best of luck and stay safe in the field this fall.
June 28, 2010 – A National Shooting Sports Founcation news release hailed the Supreme Court decision today that recognized that "...the individual right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution applies to the states and local government...".

March 12, 2010 - Kevin Ingram, Club and past Board Member, suggested that our active duty military personnel be recognized for their service by omitting the Indoor Range Fee at our regularly scheduled archery and firearm practice nights. The Club's Board unanimously agreed on March 8, 2010. Whether military personnel are to be deployed or are coming home from overseas, or service any where in the world, the Estes Park Gun & Archery Club wishes to honor them with this small gesture. Range officers may require documentation of current active service.
Thank you, Sharyn Gartner, President
